It has also abolished the requirement of having a previous qualification in the same discipline in order to apply for a specific Ph.D. program.

In case of non-implementation or violation of the policy, HEC would take action against universities ranging from warnings, suspension or revocation of NOC for admissions, and non-verification of credentials.
